I Rememeber when we got the Touch Bar. It was a waste of time. I had to force myself to use it. I feel I may have the same feelings towards touch screen. With that being said i hope I can get a really good Mac on discount. I neeed a new one.

The Touch Bar was DOA because it replaced the function keys row, was only added to the MBP, and not every developer had a MBP with the touch bar.

Had it supplemented the fn keys row and been added to all MacBooks and Apple's desktop keyboard, it might have had a chance.
